Did your chicken come from a house of horrors? If you eat at Arby's, the answer is probably yes. In addition to major companies such as Perdue Farms, Nestlé, General Mills, and Unilever, dozens of leading restaurant chains, including Burger King, Subway, Chipotle, and Moe's Southwest Grill have already publicly adopted meaningful chicken welfare policies that require standards established by GAP, the Global Animal Partnership. Arby's has yet to publicly ban its suppliers from packing chickens into dark, crowded warehouses where continual contact with soiled litter can cause extreme feather loss and painful sores on the chickens' bodies and feet. At the slaughterhouse, chickens are hung upside down by their feet, a painful process that makes breathing difficult as other organs compress the birds' lungs. This is inexcusable animal cruelty that no socially responsible company should support.
